get better at skate boarding

I dont skate for Carbon Star any more. Im not sponcerd by anyone. I just skate with friends now-a-days. I want to get better but i dont want to break anymore bones. I feel like in order for me to get better than i am, im going to have to take a lot of chances.

I’m really good at skating but im not statisfied yet. I am sponcerd by a little skateshop in the Joplin(Missouri) mall called Carbon Star. I go to competetions for them but I never win. It seems like a waste of time. But I just need to keep skating and dont quite. Another promblem is that all the competetions we go to are at skateparks so its almost all vert and I suck at vert. I skate street, like stairs and stuff.
